It’s time to reduce our facility energy consumption—not just for our own pockets, but also for the good of  the environment. 

Just take a look at some recent stats on energy consumption in the U.S:

• Energy accounts for 60% of a property’s carbon footprint.
• The average commercial building wastes 30% of the energy it consumes.
• U.S. health care facilities alone spend $8.8 billion a year on energy.
• The hotel industry’s carbon impact accounts for 2% of the earth’s total and is expected to rise to 3% due to the growing tourist demand.

If you’re not focusing on energy management, you’re missing out on a lot of potential savings.

What is energy management, exactly? It’s the process of monitoring, controlling, and conserving energy in a building. If you take the time to track your energy consumption, find ways to save energy, and take action to realize those savings opportunities, you’ll be a greener business—both environmentally and economically.
